Gibson Custom Ebony – Les Paul Custom inspired acoustics
Four stunning new Custom Shop acoustic models in ebony finishes
4,0 / 5,0 | 
Gibson Custom Ebony Acoustics is a series of four fairly iconic acoustic models from the US brand. Each is outfitted in a sleek black Les Paul Custom-style aesthetic.
Gibson Custom Ebony Acoustics
The Gibson Les Paul Custom was created when Les Paul personally wanted a guitar that “looks like a tuxedo.” Now this timeless aesthetic is available on a quartet of acoustic guitars from Gibson Custom, handmade in Bozeman, Montana, equipped with high-quality components and painted with shiny nitro lacquer in ebony.
With their ebony finish and custom-inspired look, including multi-layer binding, mother-of-pearl block inlays, and the Custom Split Diamond headstock insert, these Gibson Custom acoustic guitars have the “Smoking” charisma and the optical appeal of the legendary Les Paul Custom.
L R Baggs
All models are equipped with a solid Sitka spruce top. They are also equipped with L R Baggs Session VTC electronics, which includes an integrated preamp and piezo pickup under the saddle and makes these guitars suitable for stage and studio.

Beautiful! They look nice, but I would have loved to see the traditional Hummingbird and SJ-200 pickguard detail retained too.
